PACJA has now published five editions and is currently preparing edition six which will be published early in 2018. PACJA now aims to publish two editions a year in August and February.

The role of the Editor involves oversight of the review process of submitted articles, decision making on inclusion/exclusion according to PACJA’s mission and criteria for authors, supporting new authors through the review process, sourcing potential articles and authors for the journal, particularly for themed editions, and writing an Editorial introducing published articles for each edition of PACJA.
